No , If Nb5, then Kc4+!. White first has to meet the check by taking the bishop at a8 with his queen. And black prevents mate in two.

After Qa2, black has several options, but all of them end in mate on white's next move:

1.)  Ke6 as we saw

2.)  Ke4, Qg2

3.)  Kc4, Ra3

4.)  Any bishop move, Re3

5.)  d3, Rb4

6.)  e4, Rb5

7.)  f4, Re3

Doesn't Ke4 after Qa2 stop mate in two? It looks less appealing than Ke6 because of the check, but it does stop mate in two.

After Ke4, White mates with Qg2#
